“There are some of us OLD MEN who have cats and puppy dogs as pets!”

True. Hubby is definitely a “cat guy”!

Oh really?

What about deplorable? Fascist, racist, sexist, white supremacists and Nazi?

You've given those labels to millions of American women of ALL ages.

So STFU.

The left will take anything the right views as a negative and redefine it as a positive. Soon they will try to convince us that “cat ladies” were the bedrock upon which Western Civilization was founded.

With a twinkle in His eye, Abraham's God *always* gets there first:

Isaiah 54:1 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

541 = "Israel". Just thought I'd toss that in. 😉

Let’s return to using the terms “Spinster” and “Old Maid”.

The cats are not a problem. In fact, my wife tells me that I am a better husband because of my cat experience. Women can have a husband, children,cats, even dogs, and they can all be enriching. Cats are great, but they are not sufficient. More than a litter’s worth can be an issue unless you live in an acreage.

“Yet there they are... +40s with cats.”

My wife and I are in our mid 80,’s, and we have known a few cat women in our 60+ years of marriage.

3 are still on our mailing list and auto dial phone.

One woman still has and breeds pedigree dogs to go with her Siamese cats.

These women are polite and have still have senses of humor in spite of their cats.

One made life miserable for a male cousin, and we joke that God called him to heaven for putting up with that bitch.
